Scarecrow Press Historical Dictionary of Tibet Historical Dictionaries of Asia Oceania and the Middle East
Trade ReviewAlthough most of us are familiar with Tibet as a nation at odds with its powerful neighbor and as the home of the Dali Lama, much of the land’s rich history and diverse culture remains hidden atop the soaring heights of the Himalayan plateau. In this comprehensive dictionary, Powers (Australian National University, Canberra ) and Templeman (Monash University, Melbourne) have given scholars of Tibetan culture and history a rich compendium for future research.The work begins with a listing of terms covered, followed by a highly useful chronology detailing the main events of Tibetan history from the life of the Buddha to the present day. A judicious 49-page introduction presents users with a lucid overview of Tibetan religious and political history as well as a synopsis of its rich, dynamic culture and spectacular geography. The A–Z arranged entries canvass a broad diversity of subjects, including geopolitical relationships, major political leaders, episodes from an expansionist past, and religious figures as well as thematic entries such as Banking and finance, Human rights, Mongolian Buddhism, and Trade. Examples of other entries include Chakrata Project, Foreign relations, Islam, and Tibetan uprising of 2008. The volume concludes with a substantial categorized bibliography for further research into such themes as Tibetan art, history, and literature. The chief obstacle to the volume’s utility lies with the Tibetan language, which, as the authors point out, presents “unusual problems.” The authors have chosen the transliteration system developed by Turrell Wylie, a system they argue “makes it difficult for beginners to pronounce terms properly” because of its equation of Sanskrit letters with the Tibetan letters they resemble. Although this hurdle is easily overcome by subject specialists, it presents a problem for those new to the subject. Nevertheless, with its diversity of topics and clear writing, the volume is essential. * Booklist *Powers (History of Propaganda) and Templeman (New Views of Tibetan Culture) open this premier guide to Tibetan culture and history with a reader’s note, indicating the book’s unifying transliteration standard—the Wylie system—and presenting a glossary of phonetic spellings and Wylie equivalents. Preceded by a chronology, a 49-page introduction that is interspersed with subheadings then offers a substantial overview of Tibetan history, culture, and political tensions. Straightforward entries run several paragraphs and cover the historical figures, locations, dynasties, and events contributing to Tibet’s development. VERDICT While some subject foreknowledge is required to navigate this work, it is the most thorough resource on Tibet now available. * Library Journal *Powers (Australian National Univ.) and Templeman (Monash Univ., Australia) offer a comprehensive dictionary that includes an informative introduction to the history of Tibet's land, people, religion, and politics, and a useful explanation of regional Tibetan language and the Wylie transliteration system. Also featured is an extensive chronology that begins at 27,000 BCE with the early Neolithic period and settlements in Chu bzang, and extends to April 2011, when bLo bzang seng ge was elected second bKa' blon khri pa. Readers also will find a helpful glossary of common phonetic spellings and Wylie transliteration equivalents; a listing of acronyms and abbreviations used throughout the book; and a thorough bibliography that is categorized by numerous subjects, including language and literature, the Mongol empire, and Tibetan borderlands. Black-and-white maps are at the beginning of the book, with black-and-white photographs scattered throughout. More than 1,000 brief alphabetical entries discuss the key events, people, social issues, foreign relations, and policies that make this vast country distinct. This will be a valuable resource for a variety of audiences interested in Tibet or in Asian studies or history. Summing Up: Highly recommended. * CHOICE *Recommended for academic and large public libraries, and those institutions serving populations with ties to that area. * American Reference Books Annual *

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Shakespeare and the Environment A Dictionary
Book SynopsisWhile our physical surroundings fashion our identities, we, in turn, fashion the natural elements in which or with which we live. This complex interaction between the human and the non-human already resonated in Shakespeare's plays and poems. As details of the early modern supra- and infra-celestial landscape feature in his works, this dictionary brings to the fore Shakespeare's responsiveness to and acute perception of his environment' and it covers the most significant uses of words related to this concept. In doing so, it also examines the epistemological changes that were taking place at the turn of the 17th century in a society which increasingly tried to master nature and its elements. For this reason, the intersections between the natural and the supernatural receive special emphasis. All in all, this dictionary offers a wide variety of resources that takes stock of the green criticism' that recently emerged in Shakespeare studies and provides a clear and complete overview of thTable of ContentsAcknowledgements List of Illustrations Series Editor’s Preface Abbreviations List of Headwords Introduction A-Z Bibliography Index

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Dictionary of Contemporary Slang
Book SynopsisWith more than 7,000 definitions, this book provides a definitive guide to the use of slang today. It deals with drugs, sport and contemporary society, as well as favourite slang topics such as sex and bodily functions. In this fully updated fourth edition of the highly acclaimed Dictionary of Contemporary Slang, language and culture expert Tony Thorne explores the ever-changing underworld of the English language, bringing back intriguing examples of eccentricity and irreverence from the linguistic front-line. Thorne is a kind of slang detective, going down the streets where other lexicographers fear to tread. Daily TelegraphTrade ReviewThorne's Dictionary of Contemporary Slang has the unusual distinction of being both lively and reliable. I'm still looking (and I may be some time now that I've started flicking through the pages), but everything I've looked for is here. Respect. -- Professor Julie Coleman * Professor of English Language at the University of Leicester *A new edition of Tony Thorne's Dictionary of Contemporary Slang is always to be celebrated. The Ali G of slang lexicography keeps it real yet again. This is slang as it is spoken now - and nobody does it better. -- Jonathon Green * author of Green's Dictionary of Slang *From amazeballs to zonked, a compendious, entertaining guide to all the slang you've ever heard, never heard, or hope never to hear. After reading this book I shall never be able to look at an aardvark in quite the same way. -- David Marsh * author of For Who the Bell Tolls: One Man's Quest for Grammatical Perfection *To anyone who ever doubted a dictionary can be a great read, look no further. Even the savviest of slang-users will be snapping up the latest additions, like 'awkward turtle' or 'tonsed up'. As ever, Tony Thorne's record of the language of the streets is as authoritative as it is irresistible. -- Susie Dent * Lexicographer, Countdown *The Dictionary of Contemporary Slang … reflects the current fears, anxieties, faults, quirks, wit and humour of an entire generation. -- Gary Nunn * The Guardian *With a quick flip of these pages, freshi readers can avoid looking like clunks, and figure out if they should be pleased or insulted if told they're wearing a severe shirt. Scholars may find Thorne's 11-page preliminary discussion of the purpose and function of slang intriguing, and browsers can flip through the pages, stopping when a boldface word or boxed comment catches their eye. The definitions are clear and lively and the word usage itself is often quite humorous. VERDICT:This book will attract readers who want to seem hep rather than hilljack with their nabes and BFFs. Most suitable for college libraries, or public libraries in large urban areas. -- Maggie Knapp * Library Journal *The Dictionary of Contemporary Slang is an indispensable guide to “the people’s poetry” and modern life. From logophiles to anyone who has ever had to ask “What does that mean?” there is no better source for all those rude words, insults and catchphrases in use today. * Reference Reviews journal *

Rowman & Littlefield Historical Dictionary of Sri Lanka
Book SynopsisSri Lanka has had a celebrated history, a long colonial past, and since independence in 1948 has passed through a series of crises and political experiments. It has had a remarkable record of voters turning out unpopular governments, often by sweeping margins. On 8 January 2015 voters again performed this feat when Maithripala Sirisena, representing a coalition of disparate parties, defeated Mahinda Rajapaksa for the presidency. Rajapaksa was turning the nation away from its democratic heritage towards authoritarianism and militarism. Independent Sri Lanka's economy stagnated for decades before it began to grow in the 1980s. It has had significant economic growth since the end of the 26-year war against the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 2009. Although reconciliation between the Sinhalese Buddhist majority and Hindu, Muslim and Christian minorities seems distant, prospects for Sri Lanka seem better than they have been for decades. The Historical Dictionary of Trade ReviewWith more than 700 cross-referenced entries, this volume joins a sizeable collection of historical dictionaries issued by the publisher, all aiming to summarize the essential information about a place, time period, or research problem. Historian Peebles has assembled for this volume's A-Z entries an expected array of historical figures, geographical names, political formations, and more…. The introduction effectively establishes the scope of the volume…. The book concludes with supplemental material in appendixes (recent historical electoral data, economic and population indicators, and names of colonial era and post-independence heads of state), plus a glossary of Tamil and Sinhala terms. The work's nearly 30-page concluding classified bibliography divides mostly books and some journal articles into discrete subject areas (history, culture, economy, politics, education, flora and fauna, etc.), and includes a brief section of Internet resources…. Summing Up: Recommended.... General readers. * CHOICE *Anyone who wants to delve into the details of recent Sri Lankan history will find a wealth of material here. * s *Table of ContentsEditor’s Foreword Jon Woronoff Acknowledgements Reader’s note Acronyms and Abbreviations Maps Chronology Introduction THE DICTIONARY Appendixes Glossary Bibliography About the Author

Rowman & Littlefield Historical Dictionary of Denmark
Book SynopsisDenmark has a millennium-long continuous history and development from Viking times (about 800-1050 AD) to the modern welfare state. The resilience of the Danish people is evident in the artistic golden age of the early 19th century despite national bankruptcy, the agricultural revival during the final third of the 19th century. Modern Denmark leads in industrial design, furniture, engineering, pharmacy, and social development in the 20th century. Danish scientists, medical doctors, composers, musicians, choreographers, playwrights, authors, sculptors, architects, designers, painters and film directors have made significant contributions to the development of European culture. In the 21st century, Denmark combines a thriving and highly productive modern economy with extensive social care and welfare, and thus refutes the neo-conservative economists who claim that such a combination is impossible. In short, Denmark is seen by the Danes and their neighbors as a very good place to live. Trade ReviewThis is a very useful book, as there is little in English specifically dedicated to this old European country. It has over a thousand entries about important events, issues, themes and locations related to this Scandinavian country. The text has been revised and updated, and the book is almost 100 pages longer than the second edition. It is very much a biographical dictionary as well, as there are hundreds of entries on those individuals who helped shape Denmark's history. . . .Suitable for the reference collections of large public and academic libraries. * American Reference Books Annual *For a small country of five and a half million people, Denmark has made a big impact on the world, and its history, like that of the rest of Scandinavia, is too little studied in English-speaking countries. As far as this reviewer could ascertain, Historical Dictionary of Denmark is the only English-language title to provide a compact reference overview of Denmark’s history…. Thomas, in his Preface, says that his intention is to 'give English-speaking readers the means to become familiar with the main lines of Danish history and the lives and achievements of the many great Danes who have contributed to the development of their country and its culture or have made their mark on the world stage.' Historical Dictionary of Denmark unquestionably achieves this objective. This is the best one-volume general reference on Danish history in the English-language, and it belongs in all libraries where Scandinavia is a subject of study or interest. * s *Table of ContentsEditor’s Foreword Editor Jon Woronoff Preface Acknowledgements Reader’s Notes Maps The Danish commonwealth Denmark Administrative Structure The Faroe Islands Greenland The Arctic Sea Southern Jutland, Slesvig and Holsten Chronology List of Acronyms and Abbreviations Introduction THE DICTIONARY Appendix 1: The Danish Monarchs Appendix 2: Prime Ministers and Cabinets, 1848-2015 Appendix 3: Party Shares of Cabinet Office Appendix 4: Party Shares of Votes, 1890-2015 Appendix 5: Referendums, 1916-2015 Appendix 6: Denmark’s Population, 1769-2000 Bibliography About the Author

Rowman & Littlefield Historical Dictionary of Iraq
Book Synopsis‘Iraq, the land of Hamurabi and Harun al-Rashid, has played a long and unique role in the history of human civilization. The oldest civilization known to humankind evolved on the shores of its twin rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates. The great cities of antiquity—Uruk, Ur, Akkad, Babylon, al-Basra, Mawsil, and Baghdad—were major centers of high culture and political power for much of the course of human history. This updated edition offers new and expanded coverage of a broad range of political, economic, security, cultural, and religious topics, including the emergence of a sustained protest movement for reform, the war against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, and the Kurdish independence referendum.
